Porterhouse Medical Group

The Porterhouse Medical Group provides medical and scientific communication services to the pharmaceutical industry across the globe, with a focus on solutions that can have a significant and measurable impact on both healthcare professionals and patients’ lives.

Our people are our greatest asset, and our core values – which emphasize passion, ambition, family and humour – inform our approach to the recruitment, training and well-being of our talented in-house teams of scientific staff, medical writers, account managers, creatives and event planners. Our team of 40+ staff is the perfect blend of science and creativity, including 9 people with PhDs/MScis, 2 medical doctors and 1 health economist.This is reflected in the high quality of our work and sets us apart from other agencies.

Porterhouse was founded in 2002 by Brian Parsons and Jon Hallows and is based in the UK and the US. We are structured to offer excellence in client services, content design and development, and logistical support, with each client receiving the support of an integrated and dedicated team.

Our people make the difference ...At Porterhouse, our success has been due to a combination of factors, the main one being the people we employ. It is our people who give our agency its culture and values, so we spend a lot of time and energy on getting the right people to join us – and stay with us. As well as investing heavily in staff recruitment and development, we have introduced an advanced training programme for staff who we believe have the potential to be future leaders in the organisation.

Mission and valuesIn 2015, we developed and refined a new mission statement and core values to codify what we wanted to achieve as an organisation and identify attributes that we collectively share. Our mission statement of “Developing a shared vision with our partners to deliver programmes to improve people’s lives” emphasises the way we work and cooperate with our client partners to achieve their goals. Our values comprise the Porterhouse PATH:

Proud and passionate, we are Porterhouse

A shared spirit of entrepreneurship and ambition

Together as a family, we grow and flourish

Humour and happiness in our working lives

Rather than being an inert collection of slogans and catchphrases, we have built these values in to our working days and our strong client relationships.

Porterhouse is skilled at developing a range of strategic solutions based on an understanding of both the objectives and issues of our clients, and their stakeholder environment. Elements that might be included as part of a broader tailored solution include:
